Is FC Barcelona showing Frenkie de Jong the exit door?

The morning of the Thursday 18 July was one of illusion for the barcelonismo with the presentation of the new equipación of the FC Barcelona for the season 2024/25. Through his social networks, the culés announced the uniform with a full video of symbolism. The T-shirt blaugrana is inspired by the legacy, the path and the roots of the club, reinforcing the values of the club, his style of game and the catalanidad.

The audiovisual material is starred by several of the legends of the Barcelona entity like Ronaldinho, Puyol, Iniesta, Stoichkov and Pau Gasol. Besides, they appear several footballers of the first current teams, so much masculine like feminine. Balde, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsí, Raphinha, Gavi, Lewandowski, Araujo and Fermín by the masculine part and Alexia, Aitana, Rölfo, Mapi, Vicky and Engen by the feminine part.

Of the players mentioned, only Balde, Araujo, Gavi and Lewandowski are sponsored by Nike, the mark that saw to the club. By his part, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsí and Raphinha do it with Adidas, whereas Fermín López is sponsored by Under Armour. Of the current staff, are few the footballers that are image of Nike and have not formed part of the presentation. Such is the case of Cancel and Sergi Roberto (whose agreements expired on 30 June, the first of them like yielded), Vitor Roque (whose continuity is not ensured) and Frenkie of Jong.

The case of the Dutch is, what less, striking. The Brazilian forward as soon as it carries six months in the City Condal, having anticipated his arrival to the Spotify Camp Nou for adapatarse to the dynamics of the first team, but hardly has had minutes. Other important absences would be the ones of Ter Stegen and Gündogan, but both are image of Adidas and his 'descarte' is more justified, leaving a 'question mark' at the side of the '21'.

It will be still in the club?

And it is that the Dutch has been in the 'eye of the hurricane' in the last markets of signings. The one of Gorcum has been linked countless times to a possible exit of the club, and this summer is not the exception. The Barça needs to do box to be able to assume some important operations, as it is the case of Nico Williams, by what the continuity of the Dutch goes back to be in entredicho and his absence in the video of presentation of the new T-shirt does not do more than waking up the doubts around his stay in the City Condal.
